1. The thread asked why ps3 games needs installation?

2. Before I answer that..., let me tell you that you are asking to the wrong group of people...

3. We're not the developer of the said game.....

4. Almost all the replies will be flame wars and comparing apple to oranges kinda replies....

5. As a developer...they will try to give the best experience within the constraint of the developer. this means the time the dev have to make the game, the expertise, the cost and etc; as well as the limitations of the console itself....So what if the dev is not good enough to find other ways than mandatory install?, so what if the dev do not wan't to spend more time/money to find a way? So what if the PS3 is so bad that it cannot play games if there's no mandatory install?

6. Will any answer from the above questions leads you to not buying the game? or may leads you to not buying PS3 instead?

7. It really doesn't benefit us at all to discuss this as nothing willl come out of it since we're not developer...

8. To me, it's much better to discuss how much mandatory installation actually affect as us normal gamers...

9. Does it really 'potong' our 'stim' when playing MGS4?

10. Does it really 'kill our enthusiasm' when booting DMC4 for the first time to play the game when greeted by a screen to wait for 20 mins?

11. At the end of the day, after we finish the game...does it really affect the overall feeling of how great the game is?

12. These are better discussion points....coz...if it really affect out satisfaction...then we should channel it to the dev so they do something about it...
